Barack Hussein Obama has been voted in as the 44th President of the United States. It was the outcome I wanted to see. It is also the outcome most of the rest of the world wanted to see.

Let me say, I have no racial or religious prejudices against him1. That being said, I can now share this picture with you...

I found this a while ago, and I decided to hold on to it until Obama was elected President. And no, I don't feel that Obama is evil or that this image is a correct representation of him.

I listened to both McCain's and Obama's speech. The striking difference I noticed was the contrast in reactions of their followers when the other was mentioned. In McCain's speech, the name "Obama" invoked boos from the crowd. Though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. That's how McCain ran his campaign. He spent so much time bad-mouthing Obama that he never really spent any time talking about himself. However, in Obama's speech they still cheered at McCain's name. Is this a sign that Obama has what it takes to see a newly unified America, and not just more of the same?

As Obama said in his speech, "A new dawn of American leadership is at hand." I like the sound of that.

1:I really hope this little disclaimer won't be required every time I poke fun at our new President.
